Epstein's Guards Turned Down A Plea Deal
2019-11-16
[HotAir]...two of the guards who were responsible for checking in on the prisoner every half hour were offered a plea deal by federal prosecutors, but they turned it down and decided to go to trial. You just know there’s got to be more to this story, right?
Double suicide?

#7  Turning down a plea deal is a sign of innocence, or at least the belief the cops got nothin.

#6  Maybe the other way around CF. Maybe the deal included rolling over on their co-conspirators.

#4  You want stand-up guys for something like this, not pansies who are going to wilt the first time the feds glare at them harshly. I'd be curious how long these two had been working at the prison or if they were brought in special for this particular event.

#2  ..then again, they may be extended hunting season. Lots of accidents happen in hunting season.

#1  Charges dropped, stalled or the long term bureaucratic shuffle seems a coming attraction!
I think they're betting on the fear of what discovery and exculpatory evidence might bring to light, and I think they are making a safe bet.
